When it comes to building or remodeling your home, it can be tempting to try to DIY your project. From choosing the right couch to picking the perfect window treatments, decorating might seem like a fun and easy project. But as you start to dig into the details, you’ll find that even to just decorate one room, your to-do list becomes a mile long.

That’s where interior designers come in. Thanks to their expert eye for detail and experience in the field, they can take the burden off of your shoulders and create a space that looks better than you could’ve ever imagined.

Besides an amazing final result, working with a designer will also make your life a little bit easier in a few key ways.

1. You’ll save money in the long run.

When you’re furnishing a room or your entire home on your own, it can be hard to imagine how everything will come together. That means that, many times, you’ll end up with pieces that don’t fit in the space, don’t work with existing decor, or just aren’t exactly what you expected. And especially when you’re furnishing multiple rooms or an entire home, it can be hard to know what money to allocate where to get the look you want.

Designers, on the other hand, have years of experience managing budgets and pulling together cohesive spaces. They know what works and what doesn’t, and can help you avoid expensive mistakes before they happen.

2. There’s less stress and hassle.

Instead of spending hours choosing paint colors or obsessing over endless fabric swatches and countertop samples, why not offload it to the experts? Designers help take some of the big decisions off of your plate so you can focus on the other things you have going on in your life.

They have an efficient process and know how to problem-solve and keep things moving to ensure your interiors are completed on-time and on-budget. That way, you don’t have to be preoccupied with juggling your interior design along with everything else on your plate.

3. Your project will get done quicker.

It’s easy for interior design projects to go off the rails. Between requesting fabric swatches, ordering and returning pieces that don’t quite fit as you imagined, and fixing any mistakes, doing an interior project on your own can take months.

Instead of having half-done rooms or empty spaces that don’t live up to their potential, a designer can transform your space in half the time. Because they know exactly what to expect, can anticipate problems before they arise, and know every single decision that will need to be made, they can streamline the process and deliver you a beautiful space before you know it.

4. They know how to work with your core team.

Designers may specialize in interiors, but that doesn’t mean they don’t understand the other important aspects of a new build or remodel. On any given day, they work with contractors, structural engineers, and architects on different projects to keep the lines of communication open and exceed expectations for their clients.

The design of your home plays an important role for each of these different players, so having an interior designer who knows how to speak their language is important to the overall success of your project. That way, your designer can manage the relationship between other vendors to simplify the entire process.
